    An astounding cathedral city, Lincoln nestles in a gap in the Lincoln Edge, a long escarpment in western Lincolnshire. The old city adapts to this steep topography, and most of the historical monuments are in the higher part, known as Uphill. There’s masses of beautiful architecture on these winding streets, where Lincoln’s clergy and military elit...

    Almost implausibly beautiful, the centre of Stamford is composed entirely of buildings from the 1600s and 1700s. And most of these are made with local limestone, which gives the town a solemn quality that has attracted Hollywood productions in the last decade. You’ll want to explore every last nook, but one of most photo-worthy scenes is the view o...

    In the low-lying Fens region to the south of the county, where farmland was reclaimed from marshes in the 17th century, Boston’s most emblematic monument made is all the more impressive for the flatness of the surroundings. St Botolph’s Church, popularly known as “The Stump” for its tall and truncated tower, is from the late-14th century and could ...

    This town gave England two of its most renowned figures. First there’s Margaret Thatcher, and you can read up on her early years in the town at Grantham Museum. Less likely to divide opinion is Sir Isaac Newton, born at Woolsthorpe Manor, moments south of Grantham, in 1642. He returned to Woolsthorpe in his 20s to perform experiments and is said to...

    The well-to-do town of Horncastle was granted its market charter in the 1200s and trading continues on Thursdays and Saturdays. Two regional delicacies to keep in mind are plumbread, a sort of fruit loaf, and poacher cheese, which is matured for a year or more. And to be a real “yellowbelly” you’re supposed to eat them together! Pottering around Ho...

    An good old-fashioned day at the seaside awaits you in Skegness, which had its heyday in the early-20th century after taking off towards the end of the 1800s. This is when it got its pier, which through bad weather and accidents has suffered damage down the years but is in good condition today at almost 120 metres in length. The beaches are long, w...

    It wouldn’t be accurate to describe Grimsby as “pretty”, but you can definitely say it’s an interesting place, with a history that needs to be told. In the mid-1900s Grimsby had the largest fishing fleet of any port in the world. But although fishing is still a big employer, the town is now post-industrial. So any trip to Grimsby should involve the...

    On the River Trent, which empties in the Humber more than 50 miles to the north, Gainsborough remains the most inland port in England. In industrial times its access to the North Sea made it a base for manufacturing, and during a stroll around the centre you won’t help but notice Marshall’s Yard, where the long-defunct Marshall, Sons & Co would pro...

    With the Wolds to the west and the coast not far to the east, the first landmark you’ll spot as you approach Louth is the spire of St James’ Church. And this monument is the ideal starting point for a wander around the handsome town. You’re looking at the tallest medieval steeple of any parish church in the country, towering to almost 90 metres and...

    Rated as one of Lincolnshire’s most liveable towns, Sleaford is a historic town around yet another of the county’s sublime churches. The outdoor market in front of the church still trades on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, and of you happen to be around for the first Saturday of the month there’s a special farmers’ market bring the best of the loca...
